Naruto is one of the biggest anime franchises today, with hundreds of episodes and millions upon millions of fans around the world! With every big franchise comes a lot of video games. In Naruto’s case, 50 games will have been released between Japan, North America, and Europe by March 2013 of this year. These games can be found on handhelds like the PSP and 3DS, giant machines in Japanese arcades, and home consoles such as the PS3 and Xbox 360. Saiyan Island has narrowed down the top 10 Naruto games of all time, at least in our opinion!

We’ve included multiple videos to compliment our thoughts on each game so that you can get a taste of what they offer. So, without furthur ado, Saiyan Island’s Top 10 Naruto Games of time!

Let us know your top 10 in the comments section!

10. Naruto: Powerful Shippuden

Platform: Nintendo 3DS || Publisher: Namco Bandai Games || Developer: Inti Creates
Release Dates: November 29, 2012 (Japan) || March 2013 (North America) || March 8, 2013 (Europe)

In Naruto: Powerful Shippuden, the ninja battles are from a new perspective – mini form! Players can take control of one of two playable characters – Naruto and Rock Lee – to play in a 2D side scrolling adventure. The game is very simplistic and at times repetitive with numerous generic ninja and random animals, but at the same time it’s quite fun! The story is told through static images and text, but overall it’s a nice throw back to 90′s video games with a fresh layer of Nintendo 3DS coloring! Tailed Beast Chakra Mode Naruto included!

    This list is a total fail

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM LiL JJ

    Though early, Storm 3 does have the potential to pass it’s predecessors. Once people calm down and realize the things that they are bringing and there is still more to come. After all,the game doesn’t come out till March, things will be revealed one way or another, in time. Who else wants an HD collection of the Ultimate Ninja trio? Ps2 lives on.

  • gonito

    ultimate ninja 3 esta bueno

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/E5BLQB3LQAHBYY2XIX2Y54VYTM michaels

    Great list, I whole heatedly agree with these! Except number 1 since it’s not out yet, but in 3-4 months, it will be there without question.

    I bet most people will want Ultimate Ninja 5 and Gekitou Ninja Taisen higher, but c’mon, those games were the exact same in gameplay every year. No innovation. Rise of a Ninja did something new and The Broken Bond improved it. Not better than Storm, those are all without question top notch, but Ubisoft’s games were better than the rest.

  • lightdarkgamer

    storm 3 will kick out all the others xDD !!!!

    no broken bond is better then storm 2

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/R4554HCYSNIGLC7FXUOSVNDKSA Scope

    I agree with most of this list… but please explain to me why Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 and Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 aren’t on this list. GNT 4 was arguably the greatest Naruto [excluding Shippuden] game EVER made, perhaps even better than the first Storm game. And Heroes 3 was basically the classic Ultimate Ninja games with more characters and a better toned fighting system. If you want to argue against the graphics, fine, but it is a PSP game. I just think those games should have been on the list somewhere, instead of Ultimate Ninja Impact and Powerful Shippuden — both of which are clearly inferior.

  • narutobleachop

    I didn’t like Heroes 3 much personally. It had 4 player combat which could have been cool, but none of my friends have a PSP, so I was left playing that alone and got bored real quick.

  • narutobleachop

    They should do that for Storm games! OMG how epic would that game be then!!

  • ALMIGHTY Juicemon E. Genesis

    Don’t be cruel, bro.  It’s his perogative.

    I disagree with this list entirely.

    1. Storm 3
    2. Heroes 3
    4. UN 5
    5. Storm 1
    6. UN 4
    7. Impact
    8. Clash of Ninja Revolution
    10. Uzumaki Chronicles

  • kimimaru7

    I, for one, think Broken Bond was better than Generations.. it offered a great amount of cutscenes true to the anime and probably the best rpg mode of all naruto games along with an ok gameplay, while generations didn’t even have an rpg mode and displayed most of the story through simple pictures with the exception of the 1 hour of anime style cutscenes which aren’t, in my opinion, as engaging, making up for it only with good online gameplay which had, however, many already seen characters in storm 1 and 2… i guess its just because i’m a big naruto fan, but i find generations single mode very boring

  • konanNobito

    Ok I know what Ost means becuz that’s how I find final fantasy music but what does it stand for

  • konanNobito

    Storm 3 will rain supreme
    Where Naruto clash of ninja 2 it was my all time favorite gamecube game besides. (SSB and mario sunshine) it actually had a hack and slash four player gameplay

    Oh and does anyone Know if Dynasty warriors 8 will be for X box 360

  • konanNobito

    Yeah it is very boring if you don’t have online and the Cpu aren’t a match they shouls make them smarter , make them spam, constantley jump gaurd when they have no bars and make the jump sometimes before they chakra dash, but it makes me no difference I have a brother who loves the series just as much as me

  • H3LLRav3n

    How in THE HELL is UN5 NOT #1?

  • http://twitter.com/BLit36 B-Lit

    I can’t understand how someone could honestly put an unreleased game in the number one spot of a countdown like this or anywhere on the list for that matter. Sure, the game COULD be better than all the ones before it, but it COULD also be worse, there’s no way to know for sure. I don’t think this list is fair at all. All of the Naruto games excluding Storm 3 are being held to their actual merits when Storm 3 is being held merely to hype and excitement instead of its actual merits as a game. 

  • Braxton4715

    idk about powerful shippuden but un impact was pretty good  

  • http://twitter.com/AdamMVPTurner Adam Turner

    Exactly because you know what shows that the newest game isn’t the best. HOW THEY PUT STORM GENERATIONS AT NUMBER 2 AND IT CAME OUT LAST YEAR!!!! THUS JUST BECAUSE U THINK IT WILL BE BETTER YOU CAN”T DO THAT. Saiyan island use to actually make good lists. 

  • Braxton4715

    nuns should be in 3rd place

  • kimimaru7

    im kinda scared about storm 3 because they announced it will have more than 100 characters and lots of new gameplay content, but it’s still supposed to have awesome story mode and rpg and i don’t see how that’s possible xs   generations focused on mostly gameplay than anything else and now storm 3 has to do better on online gameplay than generations AND better on story mode than storm 2, and it just seems too good to be true,,

    How was the game? it was never released for U.S cause CC2 decided not to give us one

  • uchihalord1994

    I was sooo heart broken when i heard DW 8 won’t be on xbox :’( 

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    I think Storm 3 will be a great Naruto game, but I believe it’s HIGHLY overrated considering that they’re calling it the best and it’s not even out yet. In my opinion no Naruto game can ever be as good as Ultimate Ninja 4 or 5 were. Unless they make Ultimate Ninja 4 and 5 with online capabilities LOL

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Storm 3 as #1 takes away a lot of the credit from the otherwise great list. It has not come out yet. Any rational person would say you can’t judge a game before it has been released.

    Otherwise, nice list. And I’m glad SI can look at a game content-wise and realize what is actually a good game, and not what is a shallow game with little to do outside a short and annoyingly easy story mode and a bunch of gimmicks (Storm 1). The top games have the entire package (save maybe Generations): RoaN, BB, Storm 2 as in they have story modes that are interactive as well as have limitless replay value with online. 

    However, I’m surprised that the GC/Wii games didn’t make it on the list. They weren’t bad, just a bit more traditional as far as fighting mechanics. They weren’t my cup of tea, but they still deserved 1-2 spots at least.

  • unleashrage

    Seriously?..NUNS3 isn’t even out how can it be number 1?…Generations being higher than storm 1 is a bad choice in my opinion, but yeah i know this is SI’s opinion of top 10 games even if i do think this is just Dawn putting her favourite games together lol.

  • Guest

    Just like AC3, overrated, overhyped and a huge disappointment. hopefully storm 3 doesn’t go to that route, but considering generations did. I wouldn’t be surprised. screw the pre-orders I won’t fall for that crap again. I’ll wait a few months. let people become rational again to give a fair review of how good the game is. I bet you it’ll be slightly better than storm 2. which isn’t bad, but also isn’t great. I’ll wait till storm 4 or gen 2 before I pre-order if it’s the last storm game. I made the mistake with gen. I’ll never do it again. that was like a middle finger to face from CC2 and namco bandai. haven’t felt that bad since NUN5 was only released for japan and U.K. and not U.S. that’s strike 2 for CC2.. one more and they’re out 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Why? They gave their reason (not enough to do outside story mode). So what is your reasoning?

    Honestly, there really is nothing to do once you’ve beaten the extremely easy story mode. It’s a fun game, maybe more fun then any other Storm, but it has so little content it really shouldn’t be any higher. 

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    I agree with everything that you said

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I have no idea how they even justify that as #1. That’s extremely biased when you haven’t even played the game and give it the top spot.

    A game with little to do outside an easy story mode (Storm 1) shouldn’t be higher then a game that revamped everything and has limitless replay value (Generations) even if story mode was lacking. Generations had much more content, much more characters, and though I don’t agree with every new gameplay feature it did attempt to rectify some things from the previous Storms.

  • Guest

    SI’s opinion has been pretty bad lately when it came to wishlist’s and top 10 stuff. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I’d love that latter part. 

    Just know there will be spam in that too if they ever do re-release them with online. It’s unavoidable in fighting games, and online tends to bring out the flaws in game mechanics where they may not have been seen otherwise.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    No online, thus it’s replay value is limited.

    Now if it were re-released with online functionality… then yes, all day.

  • Guest

    Haven’t seen this much bias since Fox news declared romney as prez before the final poll

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    I don’t dislike the Storm franchise for the spam, I dislike it for the lack of content though I agree that online may do more harm than good. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Imo, UN3 was the best of the original series.

    Never played UN5, but UN4 was severely lacking in content. The story mode was half filler and the other half only went to the Itachi/Kisame battle in the Rescue Gaara arc. It didn’t even finish the arc (much like Storm 3 is looking like it will do).

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I haven’t played it either. But the game is actually used for sanctioned competitive tournaments. So the mechanics must be pretty tight and overall deep to have such an honor. 

  • Twice_The_A

    Storm 3 #1!? I think it will be a great game, and when it comes out it may even be #1, but it’s still far from being released, yet, it’s #1!? Also, Generations > Broken Bond? No, just no

    Generations graphics and fighting is better than Broken Bond, but Broken Bond’s story is amazing – so I’d say they would’ve been a tie.

  • EA575

    Ultimate Ninja 5/Accel 2 is probably the best 2D Naruto game ever. 
    The first video isn’t the trailer, but the intro to the game.

  • kimimaru7

    i get what you’re saying. ultimate ninja games were really well made, despite being ps2 games, with great character roster and story mode, but in defense of storm games i think the amount of story in the ultimate ninja games was a lot less than in storm 2 particularly, which covered the whole shippuden saga from the beggining to the end of the pain saga unlike un5 which only got to sasuke vs naruto, and storm 2 also managed to cover the story well, even though it wasn’t nearly as detailed as UN5,, i think if there were more characters and more detailed story in storm 2 it also wouldn’t be able to cover the entire saga, but the game pulled through just as nicely i think. (plus it has online x)

    I might give Broken Bond a try. But I hope it’s better than Rise Of Ninja.

  • uchihalord1994

    lol its not that bad! just those spammers made it look bad …-.-

  • uchihalord1994

    it is better!! u should really try it out ! but the graph is kinda lame ;/

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    Sure the amount of story was shorter, but the amount of gameplay sure as hell wasn’t. Ultimate Ninja 4 and 5 had much more in-depth gameplay than the Storm series ever could. Sure they didn’t have online(which I couldn’t care less about since the majority of people online spam anyway and it just ruins your gaming experience), but I would rather have an adventure mode where there’s a world to explore any day. I do respect CC2 for still trying to make fun games but I believe nowadays Naruto games don’t have the same uniqueness as they used to. Back then they use to feel like completely different games, now they just feel like the same game with tweaks added to them it’s a shame if you ask me.

  • konanNobito

    So will they’re be anew chapter tomar?

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    Graphics don’t make a game, gameplay does. With up to multiple hours of playtime jumping through trees while completing missions, learning new jutsu, and owning bandits who needs good graphics?

  • http://twitter.com/MrEpicFailed A.Z.

    Aaah.. Ultimate Ninja Storm 3… We’re all anticipating it! >.<

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    I played 0 player battles, because I beat the storymode in 2 days and moved onto survival mode and realized I was just playing Storm 2.2, traded it in, and am now back to playing Storm 2 while waiting to see if I should get Storm 2.5…..I mean Storm 3.

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    Nope it just shows that Naruto fans have turned into mindless zombies, watch when Storm 4(or whatever it’s called) comes out they’re going to be calling that #1 too.

  • Dániel Balázs

    Wohwohoo! Hold on a sec! Storm 3? It’s didn’t come out yet. Storm 2 and Gen? This is ridiculous. Storm 1 is way better than these two….

  • unleashrage

    If you took away online for Generations it wouldn’t offer much either, that’s what storm 1 lacked the most as well as not having some characters playable.

  • http://twitter.com/thesagebeast thesagebeast

    naaah storm barely has combos simplest figthing ever so i say broken bond

  • Oblivion000

    Kinda upset that Storm 1 was so low down… Had the best Specials in my opinion and also had the whole fighting on wall things, and awakening seems way more special as they also had their own specials (which i miss) and you could clash (which i also miss) but oh well, good top 10 all the same

  • MrMathboi Reborn

    i love this game storm 3 but its overated too cuz it never came out it might not be as good as it seems. too 

  • RedDragon10

    This site is losing its credibility… I mean putting a personal top 10 is one thing, but to put an unreleased game as the number one game is an insult and a smack in the face.  Personally I didn’t care what game they put as number one until I read a game that hasn’t even been released.  I, myself, would of placed storm 1 or 2 as #1 and generations wouldn’t even be on my list.

  • Guest

    and story mode, and annoying 4 sub bar, and annoying move cancel that moves back & forth, and the overpowered characters, and the extremely underpowered characters, and the non changed movesets etc. 

  • Guest

    all the more reasons for me to hate CC2 for not giving U.S one 

  • rasenchidori

    i actually really like this list! Storm 3 as #1 makes sense. If you read the article, it says Storm 3 will take everything good about past Ultimate Ninja games and improve upon it.

  • http://twitter.com/thesagebeast thesagebeast

    thats true

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM LiL JJ

    That’s because people took Generations the wrong way. Storm 3 is the actual sequel to Storm 2, whereas Generations was just a side holdover game.

  • RedDragon10

     @yahoo-ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM:disqus True sequel or not, Generations came out after Storm 2.  They can say whatever they want about that, but Generations is a sequel in the same way as the tag games are to Tekken games.  We the fans took nothing the wrong way.  We expect a game, not a ripoff. Generations could of been added as DLC not a separate 60 dollar expansion.  They also said they wouldn’t create storm 3 until they finished the manga, but here we are at square 1.

  • konanNobito

    Probly becuz articles with anything to do with naruto have 3 times as many comments as any other article and of course we all no Naruto gets people the moost riled up when its mentioned though its not the best manga out theere

    I’m a Narutard and dislike onepiece becuz of it

  • konanNobito

    Generations was nothing more than a appetizer for storm 3 if what you want was for them to have just saved everything in generations and put it in storm 3 then you would still be playing storm 2 now

  • http://twitter.com/Diabloo12 Marco

    Can you explain it better plz? Its true you got alot of Naruto news here but the anime is still going on and dbz is already over. They only get a new movie now and we still dont know about new games in 2013 for dbz. So its logical you get more Naruto news cuz we going to get a storm 3 and the anime/manga is still going on. ( sorry, bad english )

    Number 1 is a game that’s not even out yet…awful presumptive there,

  • konanNobito

    I think that it needs four aerial combos

  • narutopiece1

    I couldn’t agree more @ No.1. I do think that storm 3 will be the best naruto game ever based on what i have seen thus far. CC2 said we only saw 20% of what they had to offer so far, and we can expect a lot more in the coming months. I can’t wait until then XD

  • konanNobito

    Well its true I don’t like onepiece becuz I liked naruto first I’m not going to bash the series becuz I only read like one chapter of it and the episodes I watched I was to small to remember them

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/YNTJHNTHQQPHQ4LDQJU7RSEYRA SamK

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    They never said Generations would have an improved story mode, but everything else was revamped. We got exactly what they said they would give us. If you expected more, then idk what to say. 

  • Vineet_Gaara

    That’s only because it’s announced to be one of the best Naruto games ever. It has all from Storm 1, 2 and Generations. Even if it is a ‘awful presumptive’, I still think it’ll be better than any other game. Thus, having #1 on the list.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    “If?” We’re talking ifs now? Fact is they didn’t and fact remains that gives it much more replay value. So it has more content that is worthy to go back to (at least imo).

  • RedDragon10

    That’s not what I said or wanted.  Read the previous post.

  • Vineet_Gaara

    Not really. They could do the same thing with DBZ(hence the Saiyan), but since Storm 3 is coming out which is a highly anticipated game, and, no news is coming out. So, they created this. 

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/FFCRVIFR3JTGAMDA3AQI3XQQ3E Cloud S

    ……..and the loads and hordes of glitches , loss of balance, no story, yeah, it’s the game itself too.

  • RedDragon10

    The hell are you talking about?  When the hell did I say that?  What I was comparing was hype.  Read the original post.  “Everything else was revamped”-? How were the characters revamped?  How was gameplay “revamped”? By introducing a sub bar…which made everything worse. Geez…this why I hate when people just jump into comments without understanding the argument.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    It doesn’t matter if they announced a giant gold statue of Naruto and a 2 ticket, all expenses paid vacation to Japan with every copy, you STILL shouldn’t rank a game that you’ve never played. It’s ridiculous and ignorant and anyone who condones it is equally as ridiculous.

    Dafuq?  You hate OP because you like naruto?  You can’t like them both?  Yeah, you’re right you are a narutard.  The original poster was talking about the influx of opinion based articles, like this one.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Idk what your issue is. They never lied about what it was. They advertised it exactly as what we got: A revamped battle system and online mode with new offline modes but a very weak story mode. How you felt “ripped off” is beyond me, unless you didn’t do your homework.

  • RedDragon10

    Guess what.  I liked naruto first too.  I didn’t like one piece because of the art style, gave it a chance, now I love it.  You said you were younger when you gave the series a chance.  Maybe your opinion will change.  Maybe not.  But to hate something just because you like another anime?  I hope you can understand the fault in your reasoning.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    He’s not even bashing it. Are you alright today? You seem in an awfully frustrated mood. It’s not like you.

  • RedDragon10

    The HYPE was the exact same.  We were ALL anticipating something better.  Are you actually defending generations? Weren’t you bashing it in an earlier article for the same exact reasoning?  Awfully hypocritically.  They never advertised a “weak story mode.”  They wouldn’t kill themselves like that.  I felt “ripped off” paying 60 dollars for a worse game, despite advertising a better game with the past characters and a new style of gaming.

  • RedDragon10

    God damn… READ the earlier comment.  He posted that in reply to an earlier post but due to a glitch it was posted here.  Just go back and read what he wrote.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I’m not defending the game, I’m defending the way it was advertised. IT WAS, I REPEAT, NEVER MADE TO SEEM LIKE MORE THEN IT WAS. You can’t honestly expect more then what they showed if you have any kind of logic.

    Yes, they did. They said it wouldn’t have a free roam, and that battles would be consecutive. How did you miss that? You’re not being serious are you? You’re acting very odd today…

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I did read it. It doesn’t matter what he wrote… he rectified his mistake, that’s all that matters. You’re not making any sense here. So you get what you want and still argue for no reason?

  • RedDragon10

    Advertised? The only advertisements I’ve ever seen were on Saiyan Island and the way they convolute things, specifically towards naruto, always makes it seem better than the way it was.  They showed me enough to truly make me believe that the game will be a great experience as the second game.  Obviously you can’t make a final conclusion until you buy and play the game.  And my opinions were not good, AFTER ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME.  It seems as though you know me pretty well from your assumptions though.  I’m acting odd?  I always respond in a sarcastic and self-proclaimed witty manner.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    You do not see the issue with “I do think” do you? You can’t rate something on what’s expected, only on what is. If you’ve never played a game, YOU DON’T RANK OR REVIEW IT.

    Who’s to say there aren’t game breaking glitches? Who’s to say the game will function properly? Come on people, this is common sense.

  • RedDragon10

    Rectified his mistake? Yeah, after I replied to him.  You always take things too personal, you know that?  You’re not good at reading the tone of a comment.  I wasn’t “bashing,” merely offering advice.  He wrote:

    Probly becuz articles with anything to do with naruto have 3 times as many
    comments as any other article and of course we all no Naruto gets people
    the moost riled up when its mentioned though its not the best manga out
    theere.  I’m a Narutard and dislike onepiece becuz of it

    The last statement seemed idiotic, I responded.  He replied quite respectfully, and I answered, in what I believe in a calm and astute manner, also with respect.  You thought I bashed him, and now I’m arguing with you.  So, who’s at fault here?  With who am I arguing with?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    SI: ranking a game based on expectation is ignorant. Even if everything you ever dreamed of is in the game, there are still the possibilities of game breaking glitches, things that don’t function properly, heck there are games that constantly freeze and are barely playable. Come on guys, did common sense not ring through your ears?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    You’re off your rocker bro. You keep responding to his comments no matter how much he changes his tone. Every time OP comes up you get all up in arms over nothing. I had the exact same issue with you when I rectified my ill advised comment on a OP post. No matter how much I took back what I said, you continued to respond with a “tone” that was less then favorable, pointing out trivial things in each.

    His reasoning is more likely a language barrier issue then anything else (as his English seems awfully poor). And what’s more, who cares what his reasoning is? Point is, he knows he shouldn’t have prematurely said anything against OP.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Your just not usually this up in arms over nothing. You usually say your piece (yes normally sarcastic in nature), then just let it be. I’m arguing with you about the OP issue because I hate seeing people I respect seemingly look like they’re making an a$$ of themselves.

    Obviously we saw two different things. I knew what I was getting into from what I saw here, on SI, on Generations but I bought it anyway. That’s my fault for not trusting my gut (especially after playing the demo). So putting blame on CC2 for not realizing what they were trying to offer is pushing your own fault onto others. 

    As an aside, the reason I’m so up in arms over Storm 3 is because I see the same thing happening with other people. They are expecting more then what they will get (which seems to be what you did with Generations). I’m trying to inform them not to make the same mistake you and I did: believing that the game will be any better then what it has been.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Well, it was the best Storm game. The broken mechanics were actually manageable if you had a decent amount of skill and knew what you were doing (such as timing combo presses and using air combos which were pretty safe). But to call it a masterpiece… meh…

  • khmerack

    wow. they actually LIKE the ring out.

    a game cant be ranked at all if it has any kind of bugs or glitches that interfere with gameplay imo. and lul wut? nun5 got ranked higher than storm 2 with no team ultimates!?!?…..totally disagree with this top 10 list 100%.

  • narutobleachop

    Hmmm did I read your comment right? I see NUN5 at 6th place and Storm 2 in 2nd.

  • RedDragon10

    Respect?  I’m quite honored by that statement.  I apologize if you feel that I’m making an “a$$ of myself,” but to me, I’m just defending my stance.  As you can tell, I’m quite passionate in my arguments.  You wrote that I kept responding to his statements but I only responded twice, and in both remarks, I didn’t necessarily bash him; I only argued against his statement.  I didn’t harshly criticize him or his statement, I simply offered him advice.  You seem to interpret my tone as harsh and arrogant, but I’m just writing the way I normally do and in response to the original post.

    The reason I always defend OP is because I always see it pointlessly bashed for no reason.  I know that you are aware of this.  At first I let it go but I lost it at one point and made a disqus for that simple reason.  I originally only went to SI as a non-poster that changed when I saw that whenever an OP article was posted, there was some ignorant moron posting an idiotic reply.  So I guess I made an account as a sort of “OP defender”-so-to-speak.  The reason I “kept going at you” for posting that ill-advised comment was because you wouldn’t let it go.  You felt as if you were the victim when you did the same thing, even though you admitted that you were wrong.  In this case, the original poster has stopped posting yet you continue, even though it wasn’t your argument to begin with.

    On the case of generations, can you blame me for being optimistic?  Can you blame me for hoping a game will be at least as good as the previous one despite the advertisements?  Just because we know the basics of a game, in terms of gameplay, story mode, characters, etc., doesn’t mean that we know everything.  I was simply hoping for more and was disappointed in the result.  I blamed CC2 for a half-a$$ed job because I felt as if their fans deserved more.  Call me optimistic but I thought it would be better despite knowing these facts.  In the end, I am the ultimate realist, and, in hindsight, I realized my mistake.  Once again I apologize if I mislead you in anything or came of as a jerk, but in the end I hold my position.

    Storm 2 definetly takes the cake as a full package, but in multiplayer, Generations smears almost every Naruto game ever. The only two games to come close are CoN 3 & 4(Special).

  • 202jkdc

    Nice list. I think Storm 1 should’ve been in top 3 because that was the spark for the most anticipated naruto game now. Most of these games had things the others were didn’t. Storm 1 wall climbing and unique awakening that took affect during gameplay, un5 team UJ, rise of ninja broken bond soundtrack and free roaming through different areas and plenty other things in games I didn’t mention should be added in one naruto game in the future to be the complete ultimate naruto. Maybe on PlayStation 4 and next Gen Xbox. Call it ultimate ninja hurricane.

  • 202jkdc

    I agree with that and that’s a good idea about the UN collection. That would give people a chance to play un5 which wasn’t released in US

  • Motts76

    I think a lot of people are going to love the Ninja Storms better because they didn’t really experience the game play of the the original ultimate ninja series. Though the latest three can rightfully boast better graphics and even game play because they are next generation games, I have found Storm 2 & Generations to be lacking in free battle. I have to say that the Ultimate Ninja series had selectable ultimate jutsus and longer cinematic Jutsus plus they all looked and felt extremely powerful even if it came from Tenten. Ultimate Ninja 5 being the best of them with even better team ultimate jutsus and these were previous generations. When Storm 1 came out I was in awe of it. Long Ulimate jutsus, awakening Jutsus, selectable ninjutsus for support characters and great cinematics. Then Storm 2 and Generations came out and each time they Took something away. Long cinematic jutsus, awaken jutsus, selectable main character and support character selectable ninjutsus are all gone. This doesn’t sit well with me. They even changed great ultimate on some characters and put in crappy ones. Compare Orochimaru’s Ultimate in Storm 1 to Storm 2 & Generatios!!! This game is mostly free battles based. Why should previous generation games have better, ,

    Relies far too much on luck and the opponent making an error. Since you can substitute at almost any time, dealing damage becomes a rock-paper-scissor contest until one player has no subs. There is very little “true’ skill involved and you can learn to be a good player very quickly.

    The core mechanics were deeper, but in all honesty the games didn’t change much from iteration to iteration even back then. I’ve heard UN5 was the biggest leap as far as real competitive play goes, but other then that they kept the battle mechanics mostly the same and just added some different (but not necessarily more) content. 

  • RedDragon10

    I didn’t even bash you, I gave you a suggestion.  Understand what? And I will hold you to that comment.  And your language is very illiterate.  He’s got you on that.  But he’s one of the more fluent writers on this site so his comments look like gold when compared to yours.

  • 202jkdc

    I agree with you even though I still enjoy storm2 and generations. I think they toned down the impacting moves from storm1 which made the others seem less intense during free battle to me. Storm1 seemed more faster, jutsu seemed more powerful and UJ seemed so powerful that it stayed more true to the UN series from ps2 but better because its a ps3. Storm 2 and Gen turned it down a notch and I’m guesting they did this because of online play, idk but I miss Kisame doing a real water shark bomb jutsu(storm1) than a baby shark bomb (storm2 and gene) and that applies to a lot of other characters.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

  • Sigvon SinTei

    The description saiyanisland made in Storm 3 summed up my very thoughts.

    “Based on what CyberConnect2 and Namco Bandai Games has revealed thus far, we think you will agree, it’s inevitable, Storm 3 will annihilate the past Naruto games, combining the best of the past with innovation of the future!
    Free roam adventure, hack and slash confrontations, giant boss battles, and epic 3D fighting equipped with the largest character roster in the history Naruto games! Is that not enough? Add to that destructible elements in stages, ring outs, support characters that get knocked out for good, two awakening types, and a new extra hit team attack system! We mentioned playable characters, right? Lets get specific – all the Jinchuriki are confirmed playable with a rumored Tailed Beast Mode Naruto (also known as Tailed Beast Chakra Mode Level 2) itching to join the fray!”
    Very much what most of us think. Some others may deny it, but it will still inevitably annihilate the past Naruto games! Just you wait!! :]

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    You forgot to add that CC2 still hasn’t fixed the extremely broken fighting system that Storm 2 created…

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Storm 2 was broken, I won’t deny that, but with knowledge and skill you could get around it. For example:

    Guard spam: Timing your melee presses or using air combos kept you safe from punishment.

    Jump guarding: There is a vulnerable moment while coming down off a jump where they can’t guard. A well timed Ultimate/Team Ultimate can punish them. 

    Generations, however, is almost a complete a coin toss. Substituting at any time makes it so that you never know when you’ll actually damage the opponent or not (the game is too novice friendly). Considering Storm 3 does not seem to have fixed this, the game is still much more broken then it was in Storm 2.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    And imo, things like wall fighting were pointless gimmicks. They added little to nothing to the actual fighting mechanics and served as eye candy at best. 

    Long Ultimates, while badass the first couple of times, ultimately get stale and take you out of the flow of a battle. Team Ultimates are bad enough as it is.

    The only mechanic I see that can be beneficial and add anything worthwhile is jutsu clashes. Why? Because they can be a spam deterrent. If you’re not good at mashing quickly, then spamming a rush jutsu would be a very bad idea. If they are, then you simply just guard or dodge like you do now.

  • Rami Sabeh

    Untill they fix Pain’s awakening and make Nagato playable, no game is the best game >_>

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    And that’s what I’m waiting for CC2 to fix before I become a huge Storm fan. Me as a consumer shouldn’t have to force myself to like something, CC2 as the developers should realize by now that the majority of Naruto fans want longer UJs, bigger health bars, more balanced giant awakenings, and jutsu clashes. It’s not really the online that I’m complaining about, it’s the fact that CC2 keeps ignoring fan’s requests and just decide to keep giving what they want. I absolutely hate standing with a company that doesn’t give a damn about their community and just expects them to eat whatever they are serving. 

  • Sigvon SinTei

    Like I said. Let’s just wait and see. But even if you add the broken parts of storm 2 and generations, I can still say its better than both.

    Just ask yourselves,

    What storm game would would you want to play the most?
    Storm 1?
    Storm 2?
    Generations?
    Storm 3?

    Inevitably you will answer storm 3.. Even if you haven’t played it yet.
    I think most people will agree.

    1. Kyubi attack
      – Sandaime vs Kyubi (confirmed)
      – Minato vs Masked man (confirmed)

      – sasuke vs sakura (they might include this)

      – END
      -But i hope they continue up to kabuto vs itachi…With lots and lots and lots of walks in free roam, I think this will be a long story mode. But completely worth it.If the support characters like chojuro, cee, Ao, akatsuchi and kurotsuchi are playable then there will be more battles.Same goes if they include characters like Pakura and gari, omoi, karui, atsui and separate playabe 7 swordsman.And other battles like Mizukage and black zetsu..

  • GoldenUltima

    I played all the Ultimate Ninja games but I still like the Storm series better. Selectable Ultimate Jutsus made the characters feel bland. It’s not really fun to have 5 Ultimate Jutsus in the same character. Making only 1 good Ougi makes them feel more special and less washed-up. 

    Customizable Jutsus make the characters feel even more bland. Whats special about Itachi if Hinata can have his Jutsu? It makes you have more strategy and think better before selecting a character if they each have an unique Jutsu. Having 2 Jutsu’s doesn’t make any difference to me 

    Long Ougis are boring. Sitting through a 20 second scene that you see a hundred times makes the game slow and bland. I prefer Short Ougis. But some Ougis in Generations are crappy, I’ll give you that

    For Jutsu Clashes, never saw what was so special about them. They were rare and lasted 10 seconds. I rather have them use money and time into making other things rather than clashes.

    Awakened Jutsus for me are the same thing as having more than 1 Ultimate Jutsu. OK you go into awakening, get stronger, have faster combos, get a new attack (Storm 3 has Awakening Action) and still have an Ougi? I want drawbacks, I want to feel like I’m stronger but I’m giving something up at the same time.

     AWESOME LIST ^_^

  • Deno13

    Like come man its not like you to complain like that

  • Braxton4715

    lol thx ^^

  • konanNobito

    @GoldenUltima your comment about why storm games are better a couple pages back was godly I wish more people could think the way you do instead of always complaining.

    I was going to say that they need to make awakenings less stronger and make or give more health bars but now a huge sasunno can’t just rush in recklessly and attack because they can get grabbed and have ultimates unleashed upon them

    bad list where broken bond

  • 202jkdc

    They still make some hidden or classic boss battles..

    1 Hokage vs Madara
    The battle could show how they changed the landscape to have that waterfall

    3 Sannin vs Hanzo
    The battle could show how they became the legendary sannin

    Sage of six paths vs 10 tails
    The battle show how he tamed the 10 tails to become its jinchuriki

    And add any other legendary battles that was told as flashbacks like Nagato vs Hanzo and others I can’t think of at the moment. That would be tight

  • Chris Blankman

    I’m starting to wonder about your guys’ articles. I understand this is your opinion, but you have Storm 3 as number one. You have a game that isn’t even released yet on the list— and as number one, no less. Also, might I ask where Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 is? Or even Ultimate Ninja 3? There’s that half-assed DS game, every Storm game, and Rise of a Ninja, but no mention of some of Naruto’s best gaming installments. I guess you could say these are the top ten Naruto games of the last five years, but of all time? Pfff …Whack. 

  • MasterAfroNinja

    The 2 biggest problem that needs to be fixed is 1). Chakra: Its should cost alot more for a ninjutsu and should take alot longer to charge right after a ninjutsu use. 2). Subs: They do not make you jump back into eneshould EX: subbing a hidden support , plus only a few characters get more charkra when transforming NOT EVERY CHARACTER SO THEY CAN JUST DO NINJUTSU OVER AND OVER!, subbing kiba’s attacks thes attack and also subbing pains push, if you cant sub it then whats the point.2 things 1) 2) With the new sub system we can enjoy seeing a finnished combo from time to time but, we only have 4 subs so we should be able to use these subs whenever we want even if we dash in to an attack or UJ also if someone transforms i dont see how it affects my subbing abil why of even having subs. We as fans and gamers need to make this clear to CC2 and i need Saiyanisland’s help to do so, so like this comment so Saiyanisland’s and CC2 can see and reply any other big issues that need to be fixed.

  • konanNobito

    Chakra while transformed is no problem anymore because while transformed the amount of chakra you can possess at a time ( chakra bar get smaller so every time you do a jutsu the amount of chakra that it takes is takin from you bar size

    Give it to feb., that seems proper.
    OMG 3 MORE MONTHS YAY

  • unleashrage

    I agree that the ultimates were too long and did get boring after seeing them a few times, i also agree that jutsu clashes would be beneficial but personally i didn’t mind the wall fighting as i rarely ever got the chance to fight on them lol. What do you think about Storm 3 so far?..i’m not to keen on the ring outs myself.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_S3L7CRXQACZXZYYH7TL5EMIPAI Salvador

     IKR eh yea but generations was released for january for ps3 japan only and feb at the begining we had ti world wide

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_S3L7CRXQACZXZYYH7TL5EMIPAI Salvador

     dude thats pretty sweet to have a hidden boss battle if you unlock certain things (like the note in storm 2 request from konohamarus sensei once you figure it out the game stop and takes you to somewhere and fight as hashirama vs madara) Or could go into flashbacks of the sotores of the characters but ill go the other way around

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    You do know English speakers don’t make up the entirety of the fanbase? There are Japanese fans as well as others who give their own input. A Japanese company will always listen to domestic fans first, and we have no idea what their requests were. Besides, I don’t care for the things you listed so much. It’s just the English fans who do are much more outspoken in forums and not necessarily on request forms, and are not necessarily the majority. 

    Long Ultimates cause connection issues. Any long cinematic does (even Team Ultimates cause hiccups). This is best observed in DB: Ultimate Tenkaichi (atrocious game) where 90% of battles are cinematics and connections frequently time out on their own.

    Only thing I care about is the broken battle system of Generations. They can leave out any gimmicks they want, just please fix the substitution system and the unnecessary c.dash cancels, (since you have ninja move cancels, just make them immediate rather then having to wait till a melee/tilt animation is over) but that isn’t going to happen. There is little skill left, just random attack patterns that win you most games (since that’s the only way to only “possibly” get any damage in while a player has sub bars).

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    It’s really just preference. But regardless, putting a game on a list that hasn’t been released yet is inexcusable. Anything could be wrong with the game, including game breaking glitches, for all we know. 

  • Castial

    This game was awsome as i played it on my wii but shikamaru was way over powering in this his normal attacks waste so much health its crazy. They should do a remake of this, the new naruto games are cool but i dont really like the full jumping around thing. This game was simple and you just go one on one the winner would be the faster one who could dodge and land your specials quicker and at the right time like true gamers

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    For the most part, I agree. I think when most people say “customizable” though, they mean multiple Jutsu that a specific character has used, and only for that character. 

    I think Jutsu clashes could be a decent spam deterrent (since people won’t spam jutsu if they cannot mash efficiently) but it is not all that necessary.

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    I am aware that English speakers aren’t the only speakers dude, I’m not stupid it’s just that since the majority of people on here are English speakers I believe that there is no reason to bring up the Japanese fanbase. Just to be clear though if you don’t know, there are more Naruto fans in America and Europe than Japan so keep in mind that CC2 may be looking at us more than Japan, just a thought. Regardless of which country CC2 is looking at, I can still determine that they are listening to the fans with bad ideas more than the ones with ones. Also, I never said that I hated Americans for thinking that they are the only relevant country, I dislike anybody that doesn’t acknowledge somebody else’s opinion it’s just that in my OPINION , Americans do it the most. If you don’t agree with my OPINION than it’s whatever. 

    Long ultimate jutsus wouldn’t be a problem if CC2 had more dedicated servers which would reduce the lag. If they used a better netcode like other Namco Bandai Games such as Tekken or Soul Calibur than that would help reduce the hiccups. Also CC2 didn’t have to take away the long UJs if they created another way to use them. Remember back in the original Ultimate Ninja games when you were able to change how you were able to defend against the UJs? I believe that the best way to bring back the long UJs is to have a minigame where you and your opponent repeatedly press the same button and whoever presses it more wins the minigame and if the attacker wins he does the UJ and if the attacker doesn’t than the UJ either gets canceled or does less damage. Hell, even if there wasn’t any minigames I would still prefer longer UJs than the short ones. Short UJs in the Ultimate Ninja Storm franchise are absolutely, positively, HORRIFIC because they don’t have that epic feel like the classic UNs or even the Clash of Ninja series which does short Ultimates much better than the Storm series.  

    I also dislike the sub bars as it doesn’t feel like anything from the anime at all. Wouldn’t it have been funny in the anime if substitution jutsus didn’t take any chakra at all? Imagine how many battles would have been changed if it was like that LOL? If they really want to stop the spam with substitution jutsus then all they have to do is bring back the substitution jutsus from the old Ultimate Ninja games back on PS2 since when you would use substitution jutsu there would be a wait that takes around 1 second before you can attack again. That would help so much as nobody really notices the wait and it doesn’t really mess with the fast paced fighting in the game.

  • shaquillejackson

    Ultimate Ninja 5 the greatest Naruto Game ever created so far. Blows all the storms out the water. Although Storm 1 is my second favorite and then finally Ninja revolution 3. There my top 3.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I agree with you for the most part. I still believe they listen to domestic fans first (even though you are right, they really only make up 1/3 of the fanbase at best). It’s sad, but it seems to be true. They’d much rather listen to Japanese fans despite knowing they don’t constitute the majority of sales.

    I really am against long Ultimates. It’s one of the reasons I prefer UN3 to the previous 2. It just takes me out of the battle, and I lose all focus watching the cinematic hoping it will deal enough damage to be able to relax (which is usually not the case). You may indeed be correct that a better server could handle the issue (as their server is crap to begin with) but I still find them to be burdonsome in regards to battle flow.

    And I agree completely with the last part. I’d just like to add also how difficult substituting was in the original UN games. If they combined what you said, along with that same difficulty, substitution wouldn’t be much of an issue. You’d have an unlimited supply, plus not be able to just spam guard and expect to be okay. If the jutsu startup lag (which was pretty significant in the original UN series)  was similar as well, punishment wouldn’t be much of an issue.

    . . . . my list is Clash Of Ninja 3, 4, D.O.N (i know its not a naruto game but it was a blast anyway) Ultimate Ninja 2,3,5 Storm 1,2 and thats it so far

  • 202jkdc

    Would you rather prefer to have ultimate jutsu without the cinema? Ex. Sage Naruto Rasenshuriken expands and blows up during gameplay when it hits you instead of going into a cutscene.

  • 202jkdc

    I think they should take a lot of time than it would usually take to make a Naruto game that most of the fans want. I heard it took 3 years to make Storm 3 and I believe it will be one of the best Naruto games so far but I also think it will be missing things that a lot of fans want, such as myself wanting the ability to switch through different jutsu during one battle. This is the only thing I really asked for but when I starting reading other people suggestions I thought their ideas would be tight too. RPG environment type , like Broken bond and add the ability to battle in these environments. Wall climbing be in these places as well. Create your own ninja is self explainable. Make a system where characters can battle while traveling through the woods. Create stage transitions for some ringouts for ex.if they made a stage at the past Hokages faces, let one side ring out as normal falling off the cliff and the other side ringout would send you at top of the Hokage Mansion which would be a stage transition and the other side of the Hokage Mansion could ringout to another stage like the hidden leaf village and it could keep going because it would be an open world environment to some degree. Old and new movesets for everycharacter by giving traditional awakening and instance awakening. Traditional holding down chakra button will change characters to have new movesets jutsu and even ultimate with no time limit restrictions and if you to go back into your old movesets, jutsu etc.just hold down the chakra again and have instance awakening as their real awakening form. Ex. imagine playing with Naruto then holding chakra button down to go into sage mode changing your moves then doing an instant awakening for the nine tail chakra. One slot is needed nowfor these type of characters. Idk if open world gameplay would be good for online because of connection problems but I think it would be tight if you’re exploring the world then another player happens to run into you choosing to fight you or make peace and iffights you, you can still try to escape whenever you have the chance and he can chase you ex. you’re wondering in the hidden woods then a character bumps into you and wants to fight you but you want to, the stage would be the hidden wood forest since y’all in the woods. The stage would be similar but it would have two sides to exit so if you get a chance during the battle to escape you’ll be able to but he’ll be able to chase you and it wouldn’t be a fast escape from the stage ex. it would be some trees added to the stage to run on and you’ll need to run up a certain tree on the exit side to escape and depending on side you take is where you’ll be going to like one side can take to the training field and the other can take youcloser to sand village or something but if he follows you while you’re escaping to another area y’all will still be able to battle whiletraveling. Remember storm1 or rise of ninja jumping on tree logs? Imagine battling during thi. Keep the combos now and add new through different button presses once the combo has been started. Ex. start any combo with the attack button then start pressing jump, or kunia button to create different ones. When pressing jump during combo the character could jump behind his opponent to trick his opponent on which side he’s on like character’s where able to do on broken bond giving more depth to the combo system but alsgo keep the original attack,up,attack,,down etc. I would please ask that the sub bar be took away for chakra to be used on substitute and I think the character should make a very quick sub sign before subbing so if you’re in the middle of doing a jutsu and you’re about to get hit you won’t be able to sub at that moment because you were doing a jutsu and didn’t have enough time for that quick hand sign. Makes sense to me how about you? Generations made it so you can sub through everything at any time just about. I think they should’ve kept storm2 subs but letting L2 be the action for it and there are times when people run out of chakra so they won’t be able to sub to see combos. I can think of a lot of different things when I read y’all ideas an ways to put it in gameplay. Tired of typing so much of this stuff at this moment so I’m gone

    Actually… yes. If there is enough style and flare to it, I would love that, as any cinematic takes you out of the flow of a battle. 

  • http://twitter.com/Boomer6574 Jevonte Marquis Gore

    I don’t care about ultimates. I didn’t even care about them in the old UN days. All i want is a good story and character roster that’ll catch up to the DBZ games.

    Technically D.O.N is but it’s also a DBZ & One Piece game as well.

  • gamerazor247

    There was a lot of stuff there, most of which doesn’t make sense for the Storm series. Could be the start of an rpg or mmo, but not Storm. As for the subs. The only one who ever made hand signs while subbing was Sakura, and she got ridiculed for her ineptitude by Zaku.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VVCK6ASWYW67C6DIO3OUCY3IME Felipe

    WOW!!! Believe or not, but that’s EXACTLY (in all aspects) what i imagined for a PS4/XBOX 720 Naruto game (i usually make “scripts” of idealized games). All you mentioned is possible on current generation consoles, but i don’t think CC2 have time to do it for the PS3/XBOX 360. This Engine is basically a Open-World Interactive System (not just RPG or MMO); one of the most complex types of engines in the gaming industry, together with the Advanced Physics engine (probably present in a game like that). 

    This kind of game takes a lot of time to be produced, almost the same quantity of work that a Hollywood movie needs to be made (examples are Red Dead Redemption and the GTA Series). But knowing the amazing talent that the CyberConnect2 developers and programmers possess, and the lots of money that VIZ Media, Shueisha and other mediatic companies could provide, it’s a very likely possibility for the future.

    I always wanted a game that had all that you mentioned and some other things, like making your own path of a Ninja; since the Academy (Chunnin exam would be epic). You could decide if you would become a hero or a villain (Nukenin), your decisions could actually change the gameplay completely (i’m talking about things that could create a Ninja War!!!). The beginning would  be aleatory, if ur lucky (or not), you could have a Bijuu sealed inside you (HAHA). If you wanted, you would be from a specific clan and possess Kekkei-Genkai techniques.

    You could attack villages (in a terrorist style, LOL), then join organizations such as Akatsuki, or based on your “level” or “fame”, you could create one. Ninjas such as the ANBU could hunt you for your entire life, then if you wanted to change, you would start making good things (not mediocre missions), or really heroic things, such as entering in battles suddenly and changing the game in the favor of a specific village)…You also could become a power-hungry person, such as Orochimaru, and start collecting Sharingans, making experiences or something like that, and you would be able to interact with real “Naruto” characters (i’m not talking about a linear thing, but real-time situations)………or you could live a common life.

    All that IS possible, and with the new consoles arriving, i doubt that CC2 will just pass the opportunity, after all, it could give them millions of $$$. The only thing we can do by now is wait and see.

  • 202jkdc

    Ok I see what you saying. How about no quick hand sign but you can’t sub while doing an attack like most characters in generations. Make it more like how storm 2 was

  • Motts76

    well let me ask you this bro, if you watch the series and Naruto never learned different techniques or pulled out different cool attacks and all he had was the Shadow clone Jutsu from the original series,  years later in the Shippuden series… Would you be okay with that?  Watching Shippuden and Naruto’s Skills never changed beyond shadow clone?  I dont think you wouldve kept watching… This is how we feel about NEW GAMES.  New games should always bring you more… Not more of the same.

  • 202jkdc

    Yeah that would be tight. Like your ideas man and thanks for responding. Left the reply earlier in 80 characters posting. Peace

  • dubaloseven

    Getting you’re opponent to make an error is what most fighting games are about. That’s a general theme across almost every major fighting game franchise. And honestly Storm 2 was way easier to learn. All it was was figuring out when to activate your jutsu. Combos were useless and mashing the triggers was an actually strategy. Now you’re forced to be careful with your substitutions, and combos are actually something to fear.

    I hate it when they say: NARUTO VS SASUKE! The wills will collide!
    It did not happen. I prefer NUNS2. But that is my opinion. The game is badass, but they stopped at a stupid moment. Just before Sasuke makes his move with his awesome skillz. I thought this would be the last Naruto game but I was wrong. Naruto Storm 4 will be Awesome for sure!
